During the hectic season of wedding planning, Rent the Runway made finding my bachelorette looks so easy.
I got to dance the weekend away with my favorite people, feeling my absolute best. That red dress will live in my memories forever.
I’ve worn Rent the Runway for some of the biggest moments of my life—from my civil ceremony to my honeymoon to adventures across the world. RTR doesn’t just dress me; it travels with me, celebrates with me, and helps me feel my best—anywhere.
In 2023, I attended a fashion gala honoring Anna Wintour and Emma Grede, so I knew I had to bring it. I, of course, turned to Rent the Runway to get dressed. The next day, I woke up to tons of text messages and DMs. Turns out, I was featured in the NYT Style section, in print no less, wearing Proenza Schouler. Thanks RTR!

After years of medical gaslighting, chronic pain, rare disease, and dynamic disabilities, I dimmed my style. RTR helped me embrace my true Sarah Style with bright colors, florals, sequins, and glamour that feel like healing. I even wore RTR for my nonprofit’s first Disability Empowerment Fashion Show.

On Thanksgiving weekend, I stood by my best friend as maid of honor and even played the violin as she walked down the aisle with her father. I needed an emerald gown I could move in, and the Sau Lee Jackson Gown made me feel more confident and beautiful than ever. I even caught the bouquet that night—and got engaged a few months later.
We share clothes the way we share stories — openly, intuitively. Even across continents, RTR keeps us close.
One of my favorite RTR memories was the Met Gala 2025 for Vogue's cocktail party. I wore a tailored jacket and skirt with boots and a wide-brim hat—an outfit that felt playful, powerful, and perfectly aligned with who I am. That night reminded me how RTR supports my creativity and confidence, letting me experiment with bold silhouettes and show up fully.

On a spontaneous trip, my RTR Rachel Antonoff sweater sparked a conversation with a local flower shop owner. The connection led to her gifting us 1,000 daisies, my late mother's favorite flower. All because my sweater that broke the ice and got us talking!

I wore this Summer Away dress to my best friends rehearsal dinner and received so many compliments! I made a speech at the dinner and the dress made me feel so much more confident getting up in front of a crowd!
Being featured on the Times Square billboard with RTR is a favorite memory. So is wearing an RTR look to a major welcome event during my first week of business school. My outfits have become the way I document different life chapters, always providing the confidence for major transitions and travel memories.
I wore an L.K. Bennett dress from RTR to meet Kamala Harris, feeling so chic with the pearl buttons as a nod to her signature look. When I wore it again to my four-year-old niece's party, she gasped, "Your dress is so pretty!" The dress worked equally well for a book tour and a birthday, making everyone feel special.
Since starting my RTR journey, I’ve lost 25 pounds and it’s been incredible to see my body change in styles that make me feel good. Rediscovering how I love to dress has grown my confidence in such a meaningful way.
